daniel io 1 Posted February 17 The piano roll does not respond to the pc keyboard (virtual keyboard). It would be great to play natively with the PC keyboard as in FL or even if the piano roll responds to the virtual keyboard keystrokes.- Better compatibility with vsti 32bits as it is tedious to make a setting in vst and have to activate the virtual keyboard to test at every instant.- 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruno de Souza Lino 290 Posted February 18 The piano roll not only does respond to the virtual keyboard, you can even record midi with it. The reason you don't have it on by default is because CbB uses pretty much the entire keyboard for shortcuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Using your computer keyboard is a compromise to not having a controller keyboard or manually writing the parts using keyboard and mouse or other means. If you look at FL Studio, which does use the entire keyboard for notes, none of the shortcuts use those keys and when they do, you have to manually deactivate the feature, otherwise, a note comes out instead of the function.

daniel io 1 Posted March 3 A step sequencer on the piano roll would be great with the virtual keyboard, FL and Reaper have it and I think it would be a nice addition.- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daniel io 1 Posted March 4 It moves forward by pressing the keys on the virtual keyboard. FL has his. It's very different from the drum sequencer.- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daniel io 1 Posted March 4 Well it seems to work, thanks for the review, I don't know much English, now I'll see how it works.- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shift+R brings up the floating panel in Cakewalk and works with Staff View and PRV. Not sure I will use it, but it is nice to know about this option. Thanks for asking about it and thanks to scook for linking the online documentation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Morgon-Shaw 248 Posted March 5 @Will_Kaydo Actually I've been using CW about 25 years and there's loads of stuff I've never used. Staff View - Video - Screensets - Markers - Mix Recall - Ripple Editing - Audiosnap - ReWire - Matrix View - Workspaces - Scale Snap....there's probably others !
